    About this ebook

  • Through Watson's work running an annual writers conference in Florida, Watson has many high level supporters such as Dennis Lehane, Laura Lippman, Stewart O'Nan, Tom Franklin, etc. All of these authors will support the book.
  • Watson is also well-connected in the academic world--he was director of creative writing program at Eckerd College for 20 years and continues to teach at Pine Manor College in Boston, MA.
  • Like his previous novel, Suitcase City, the vivid Florida setting should make the book a regional hit, as well as a strong national release.
  • Suitcase City received three starred trade reviews and we are confident The Committee will be well-received as well.

    Sterling Watson

    Sterling Watson is the author of eight novels, including Deadly Sweet, Sweet Dream Baby, Fighting in the Shade, and Suitcase City. Watson’s short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Prairie Schooner, the Georgia Review, the Los Angeles Times Book Review, the Michigan Quarterly Review, and the Southern Review. He was director of the creative writing program at Eckerd College for twenty years and now teaches in the Solstice MFA Program at Pine Manor College in Boston. Of his sixth novel, Suitcase City, Tom Franklin said, “If this taut literary crime novel doesn’t center Sterling Watson on the map, we should change maps.” Watson lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Committee is his latest novel.
